Sweet! Runner's World awarded the new Cascadia 3 "Editor's Choice" in its Spring Trail Shoe Review published April, 2008.

The Cascadia 3 is 100-percent pure trail running shoe, with no artificial ingredients. Its groundbreaking Pivot Posting System is configured to enhance balance on uneven surfaces, helping prevent ankle sprains. Ballistic rock shield technology helps protect feet from rocks and blisters. Durable and long-wearing outsole compound results in premium wet-dry traction for excellent skid-resistance. Smart shoe upper keeps you comfortable in wet conditions: Breathable shoe mesh flushes water and dries quickly; hydrophobic foam in the shoe tongue and collar lining doesn't absorb water when wet. Full-length MoGo midsole provides a soft cushy feel without sacrificing stability. A great fit for neutral runners and mild overpronators, this off-road roamer is tough enough to take on any terrain--no matter how rough, wet, or steep.

• HydroFlow® | Dynamic viscous fluid units for heel and forefoot enhance midsole cushioning—attenuating shock with industry-leading dampening and comfort.
• MoGo | Our new midsole compound provides a soft cushy first feel that lasts—without sacrificing stability. In-house and accredited third-party testing showed that in comparison with Substance 257, MoGo offers a 40% increase in cushioning, 22% more energy return, and 33% less fatigue.
• S-257 Cushsole | Durable, energy-efficient midsole compound utilized as an insole board for even more cushioning and flexibility.
• Pivot Posting system | Our dual-density post is biomechanically engineered to allow for progressive pronation control and creates a smoother transition from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase.
• Ballistic rock shield | Ballistic textile between outsole and midsole disperses point-load pressure from rocks and keeps a flexible forefoot for a terrain-compliant ride.
• HPR Green | This durable and long-wearing outsole compound is made with dispersed silica, resulting in premium wet-dry traction for excellent skid-resistance and a more environmentally friendly composition.
• Element | Upper technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn’t sacrifice breathability, durability, or comfort.
